In the United States, you need a prescription to obtain birth control, which will need to be obtained through a doctor's visit. Once the prescription is written, you can typically fill the prescription immediately.
===What to Get & Where to Get It===
For a relatively low cost, Planned Parenthood writes and fulfills birth control prescriptions. If you don't have a prescription, you can receive the prescription and pills in the same day. If you choose to go to a location like Staten Island, you'll also be able to book an earlier appointment than in Manhattan or Brooklyn. As of 2015, Planned Parenthood only provides one form of pills: [[Chateal]]. To schedule an appointment, call 212-965-7000, Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm.

You can buy medication for yeast infections and general vaginal discomfort over the counter at pharmacies, such as CVS or Rite-Aid. For UTIs, you can buy a test kit from many stores. However, if you would like antibiotic treatment, you will need a prescription written by a doctor. If you are uninsured, you can get the prescription written at a local clinic or Planned Parenthood.
